See you guys in-game my sys RIGs SLI works great, I installed Win XP on RAID0 successfully and Suse on a third WD Raptor drive. I was also able to use AiBooster to overclock from 2000.00mhz to 2200.00mhz it can do much more but I'm playing it safe. woohoo time to game

Your graphics cards and ram wont run at near the potential with the 3800 as they could...sad but true, (good metallica song)
Sure, you can crank ut graphics...(I can with my geforce 6800 gt in single AGP with an athlon 3000, and get 190 fps on 1280 X 1024 resolution, ut2004 is becoming old) No doubt you put together an awesome system, but you might as well have dual 6600 gt's cuz the processor is not supporting the power of the g cards. See?
You wont realize this till a couple years i bet though. Mainly cuz most games for a long ass time are not gonna need more than a 7800 gt, let alone...dual. (I'd wait any way, cuz processor prices will DROPPPPPPPPPPPPPP) So may be its a good idea.
The only thing you will have to upgrade, (educated guess) IN THE NEXT 3 years is...the processor. I am just saying you are |--| this close from a godly system. May be some patriot ram that over clocks (VERY SAFELY, and recommended to 600 mHz, get unbuffered ;)
I dont know of any one with a better gaming system. If you start lagging in the years to come....just try replacing that processor, and the lag will go away. :) I'd hate to see you replace dual 7800 gts, when all you would need is a new processor....pretty good processor, but the games are stepping up so much right now, in a big way. May be test that bad boy on serious sam 2 demo, or quake 4, or FEAR demo. (got all 3 today)
Crank up them graphics, and experience the future. I'd really like to know your frame rates on them games, for my own future reference. I am upgrading my whole damn system on income tax to SLI. Got my 550 watt power supply, just need MOBO and processor, and 7800 gtx...(and 27 inch LCD gaming monitor, or 32 i been peepin :D)
Gotta say though, just trying to let you in on the strengths and weaknesses of your system....not many just one. :) Very nice over all though....glad you got it working. I wanted to help, but the SLI stuff confused me man. :D Have a good one navi.
BTW when are you gonna quit changing names so much? You are confusing the hell out of me. lol UGH haha

System looks sweet to me man...I'm puttering along with a 3.2 Intel and a 9800 with a gig of ram.
We will all need processor upgrades in 3 years...

Thx man I will definetly upgrade my processor right before or after the release of UT2007. which is the whole reason this system was built. I want to take advantage of all the goodies. So far I have to say that I am simply blown away, can't keep my jaw off the ground due to this new system. I'm floored! I never thought gaming was this good. last night I played UT like I never seen it with all setting on the highest and I had no slow down in any Mod, Map or situation possible, thats incredible. I also purchased battlefield 2 and I play with all setting on high also and same result ...flawless. I want to thank everyone for talkin me into this upgrade I'm now in heaven. now I need a home.
Oh and the name will remain FhaeTon as long as I have this RIG., but you guys know you can just call me Navi, that will never change.

Cool, battlefield is a good test. :) Probably the new ut will run like glass with that processor, I just meant in future. hehe

woah yeah BF2 Has just went to the top of my list baby. KICKASS and I also bought Q4 its okay but UT2004 seems better to me.the Q4 movement still suks.
Okay upon further review Q4's one player does not suk it's kinda of entertaining. Still not catching on to the Online mode yet.
